The Issue

I am petitioning to lift the ban on the animal rights activist Gary Yourofsky from entering the UK. Gary who has delivered over 2,600 peaceful speeches around the world to nearly 60,000 people has been labelled an "international terrorist" after releasing 1,500 soon to be slaughtered Minx from a fur farm in Canada. 

Now, as Gary said, if you are going to label him a "terrorist" what do we call the people who trapped and were going to kill those animals? It is clear that Gary cannot do any damage to the UK and in fact only do the opposite, he cannot force his views on anyone but should be allowed to preach love and compassion as he has done for many many years in the past.

Please reconsider the decision to ban this man entry to the UK, allow him preach here and teach people about a new lifestyle. 

Just a final note, if we look at some of the greatest activists that have lived, Mohandas Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. You may remember that many of their actions were "illegal" or frowned upon, but looking back today we are able to see the importance of these people to the development of our civilised world. 

Here is Gary's most famous speech that i believe everyone should at least give a chance to listening to, thank you for reading.
